Male employees are entitled to ten days of paid leave.
Employers and employees in Peru must both make mandatory contributions to various social funds. Employers must contribute 9% of salaries to the health service (RPS), but can receive some of this back if they choose to provide private insurance as well. They must also contribute 11.5% to funds that cover things like pensions, disability insurance, and more. Some employers also need to pay for workplace accident insurance.
Employees must contribute 13% of salary to the national pension system, or choose to use a private pension.
Peru does have a public healthcare system, but many people in the country also use private services. For this reason, many employers choose to offer private medical insurance as a benefit to workers.
Employees in Peru are entitled to between six and 30 days of notice prior to termination. The exact length depends on the circumstances of termination. For termination without proper cause, employees are generally entitled to a severance payment of roughly one and a half months of pay for every year of service, up to one year of pay.
Probation periods can be up to one year in length.
